+IDLEfork Credits
+==================
+
+Guido van Rossum, as well as being the creator of the Python language, is
+the original creator of IDLE.  He also developed the RPC code and Remote
+Debugger extension used in IDLEfork.
+
+The IDLEfork project was initiated and brought up to version 0.7.1 primarily
+by David Scherer, with help from Peter Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley.
+Bruce Sherwood has contributed considerable time testing and suggesting
+improvements.
+
+Besides Guido, the main developers who have been active on IDLEfork version
+0.8.1 and later are Stephen M. Gava, who implemented the Configuration GUI, the
+new configuration system, and the new About menu, and Kurt B. Kaiser, who
+completed the integration of the RPC and remote debugger, and made a number of
+usability enhancements.
+
+Other contributors include Raymond Hettinger, Tony Lownds (Mac integration),
+Neal Norwitz (code check and clean-up), and Chui Tey (RPC integration, debugger
+integration and persistent breakpoints).
+
+Hernan Foffani, Christos Georgiou, Jason Orendorff, Josh Robb, and Bruce
+Sherwood have submitted useful patches.  Thanks, guys!
+
+There are others who should be included here, especially those who contributed
+to IDLE versions prior to 0.8, principally Mark Hammond, Jeremy Hylton,
+Tim Peters, and Moshe Zadka.  For additional details refer to NEWS.txt and
+Changelog.
+
+Please contact the IDLEfork maintainer to have yourself included here if you
+are one of those we missed!

+IDLE History
+============
+
+This file contains the release messages for previous IDLE releases.
+As you read on you go back to the dark ages of IDLE's history.
+
+
+IDLE 0.5 - February 2000 - Release Notes
+----------------------------------------
+
+This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
+IDE for Python.
+
+(For a more detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)
+
+FEATURES
+
+IDLE has the following features:
+
+- coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk)
+
+- cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, there are
+currently problems with Tcl/Tk)
+
+- multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing
+and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips
+
+- Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter)
+
+- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view  and step)
+
+USAGE
+
+The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able
+to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell.  On Windows, you can
+run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up
+a DOS console.  If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows,
+use the batch file idle.bat.
+
+Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed,
+not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option.
+Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options.
+
+IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with a
+Python 1.5.2 distribution.  (An older version of IDLE is distributed
+with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on top of it.)
+
+COPYRIGHT
+
+IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice
+(http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html).
+
+
+New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
+---------------------------
+
+Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
+
+- Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
+
+- Better stack viewer, using tree widget.  (XXX Only used by Stack
+Viewer menu, not by the debugger.)
+
+- Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats
+them correctly (MH)
+
+- New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands
+much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path
+browsers (TP)
+
+- Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of
+multi-line statements (TP)
+
+- Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function
+followed by an open parenthesis.  Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the
+window to close the tip window (MH)
+
+- Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP)
+
+- New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks
+familiar to Windows users
+
+- Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now
+always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works
+correctly.  You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module
+name to the __main__ namespace.  You use Control-F5 to run a script:
+this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace.  The latter also
+sets sys.argv[] to the script name
+
+
+New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99)
+------------------------
+
+Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows
+a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path,
+directories, modules, and classes.  Yes, it's a superset of the Class
+browser menu entry.  There's also a new internal module,
+MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog.
+
+
+New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99)
+-------------------------
+
+Most important changes:
+
+- Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger.
+Output goes to a new window.  Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a
+reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger.
+
+- Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows
+menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed.
+
+- Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts
+with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer"
+(was: JIT stack viewer) menu items.
+
+- Added a Quit button to the Debugger API.
+
+- The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path.
+
+- Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical
+filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work.  (There's still a
+lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the
+debugger though.)
+
+- Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works.
+
+- Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the
+class browser.
+
+- Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class
+browser.  It removes the selection highlighting in regular text
+windows.  (These are standard Windows conventions.)
+
+
+New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99)
+------------------------
+
+Lots of changes; here are the highlights:
+
+General:
+
+- You can now write and configure your own IDLE extension modules; see
+extend.txt.
+
+
+File menu:
+
+The command to open the Python shell window is now in the File menu.
+
+
+Edit menu:
+
+New Find dialog with more options; replace dialog; find in files dialog.
+
+Commands to tabify or untabify a region.
+
+Command to format a paragraph.
+
+
+Debug menu:
+
+JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer
+automaticall pops up when you get a traceback.
+
+Windows menu:
+
+Zoom height -- make the window full height.
+
+
+Help menu:
+
+The help text now show up in a regular window so you can search and
+even edit it if you like.
+
+
+
+IDLE 0.1 was distributed with the Python 1.5.2b1 release on 12/22/98.

+IDLEfork Installation Notes
+===========================
+
+IDLEfork requires Python Version 2.2 or later.
+
+There are several distribution files (where xx is the subversion):
+
+IDLEfork-0.9xx.win32.exe
+	This is a Windows installer which will install IDLEfork in 
+	..../site-packages/idleforklib/ and place the idefork startup script
+	at ..../scripts/idlefork.  Rename this to idlefork.pyw and
+	point your launcher icons at it.  Installation is as idlefork
+	to avoid conflict with the original Python IDLE.
+
+IDLEfork-0.9xx-1.noarch.rpm
+ 	This is an rpm which is designed to install as idleforklib in an
+	existing /usr/lib/python2.2 tree.  It installs as idlefork to avoid
+	conflict with Python IDLE.
+
+	Python rpms are available at http://www.python.org/2.2.2/rpms.html and
+	http://www.python.org/2.2.1/rpms.html.
+
+IDLEfork-0.9xx.tar.gz
+	This is a distutils sdist (source) tarfile which can be used to make 
+	installations on platforms not supported by the above files.
+	** It remains configured to install as idlelib, not idleforklib. **
+
+	Unpack in ..../Tools/, cd to the IDLEfork directory created, and
+	"python setup.py install" to install in ....site-packages/idlelib.
+	This will overwrite the Python IDLE installation.  
+
+        If you don't want to overwrite Python IDLE, it is also possible to
+	simply call "python idle.py" to run from the IDLEfork source directory
+	without making an installation.  In this case, IDLE will not be on
+	your PATH unless you are in the source directory.  Also, it is then
+	advisable to remove any Python IDLE installation by removing
+	..../site-packages/idlelib so the two identically named packages don't
+	conflict.
+
+	On Redhat Linux systems prior to 8.0, /usr/bin/python may be pointing
+	at python1.5.  If so, change the first line in the /usr/bin/idle 
+	script to read:
+	       !# /usr/bin/python2.2
+	       
+See README.txt for more details on this version of IDLEfork.

+# IDLE reads several config files to determine user preferences.  This

+# the following two sets of files, in order:
+#
+#     default configuration
+#     ---------------------
+#     config-main.def         the default general config file
+#     config-extensions.def   the default extension config file
+#     config-highlight.def    the default highlighting config file
+#     config-keys.def         the default keybinding config file
+#
+#     user configuration
+#     -------------------
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-main.cfg            the user general config file
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-extensions.cfg      the user extension config file
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-highlight.cfg       the user highlighting config file
+#     ~/.idlerc/idle-keys.cfg            the user keybinding config file
+#
+# Any options the user saves through the config dialog will be saved to
+# the relevant user config file. Reverting any general setting to the 
+# default causes that entry to be wiped from the user file and re-read 
+# from the default file. User highlighting themes or keybinding sets are
+# retained unless specifically deleted within the config dialog. Choosing
+# one of the default themes or keysets just applies the relevant settings 
+# from the default file. 
+#
+# Additional help sources are listed in the [HelpFiles] section and must be
+# viewable by a web browser (or the Windows Help viewer in the case of .chm
+# files). These sources will be listed on the Help menu.  The pattern is 
+# <sequence_number = menu item;/path/to/help/source> 
+# You can't use a semi-colon in a menu item or path.  The path will be platform
+# specific because of path separators, drive specs etc.
+#
+# It is best to use the Configuration GUI to set up additional help sources!
+# Example:
+#1 = My Extra Help Source;/usr/share/doc/foo/index.html
+#2 = Another Help Source;/path/to/another.pdf

+"""IDLE Configuration Dialog: support user customization of IDLE by GUI
+
+Customize font faces, sizes, and colorization attributes.  Set indentation
+defaults.  Customize keybindings.  Colorization and keybindings can be
+saved as user defined sets.  Select startup options including shell/editor
+and default window size.  Define additional help sources.
+
+Note that tab width in IDLE is currently fixed at eight due to Tk issues.
+Refer to comment in EditorWindow autoindent code for details.

+"""Provides access to stored IDLE configuration information.
+
+Refer to the comments at the beginning of config-main.def for a description of
+the available configuration files and the design implemented to update user
+configuration information.  In particular, user configuration choices which
+duplicate the defaults will be removed from the user's configuration files,
+and if a file becomes empty, it will be deleted.
+
+The contents of the user files may be altered using the Options/Configure IDLE
+menu to access the configuration GUI (configDialog.py), or manually.
+
+Throughout this module there is an emphasis on returning useable defaults
+when a problem occurs in returning a requested configuration value back to
+idle. This is to allow IDLE to continue to function in spite of errors in
+the retrieval of config information. When a default is returned instead of
+a requested config value, a message is printed to stderr to aid in
+configuration problem notification and resolution.
